Its not? Then tell us what is this:

It sure looks like the Great Pyramid at Giza, Egypt as seen from
space.

That is a highly magnified image, not what a person could 'see' from
space.


That is an extremely vague reply. You don't state where they are in
'space', yet that photo was taken from 'space'.

My reply is not 'vague' at all, in spite of your attempt to obfuscate
the matter.

Satellites don't take 'cell phone' photos. They use highly
sophisticated imaging systems so good that, as the popular saying
goes', "they can read a car's license plate"

Nice idea, don't think that's going to happen. My father knew a guy from Beck Optics who supplied lenses for U2s and the like.

Even they didn't make any claim beyond a resolution that would resolve a dustbin lid.


They can damn near read the date on a dime now.

They can certainly see car tags and the like.
